<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>...Because there is nothing paranoid about believing in an all encompassing left wing media conspiracy with the power to turn the good and just 109th Congress into a corrupt cesspool, make President Bush look like he's smirking every once in a while, and force old Republican Senators get into indiscretions with telecommunications lobbyists or at least gets a representative to mess with a paige every once in a while.<p><hr></blockquote><p>Louisiana and New Orleans Democrat William Jefferson was handed a 16 count, 94 page indictment including bribery, money laundering, racketeering and obstruction of justice. And while Nancy Pelosi stripped him of his seat on the Ways and Means Committee, the national media barely noticed. Were Jefferson a Republican, the liberal media would've devoted hours and days and weeks of "top story" coverage. As it was, they barely sniffed at it. Gone almost the next day. William who? Jefferson? Who? He did what? We don't even know a ... William Jefferson? <br><br>Oh but MY GOD! We need 396 hours devoted to the crucial, vital Larry Craig story. And say, if the Mark Foley reporting was soooooooooooo important, why did the story just *poof* vanish right after the '06 election? Gosh dang it, you don't suppose that was an election year "October surprise" do you? Naaaaahhhhhhhhhh. <br><br>***********************<br>

Yeah, I do know what you mean. I was tired of the Foley thing after about 12 minutes, and he didn't really do anything as egregious as some, such as your example of William Jefferson. But, man, that guy is always your fall back guy isn't he? I agree that his actions and the allegations against him didn't get as much press they should have, but can't you pimp somebody else for a while?<br><br>The problem for you is that he is just so hopelessly outnumbered by the Republicans who have equaled or exceeded his misdeeds. The Repubs need a big kick in the ass, and a good, lasting dose of humble pie, lose control of Congress for umpteen years and come back smelling baby fresh and take on the Dems who will have already started to rust and corrode from too many years in power.<br><br>We are what we repeatedly do. -Aristotle

And yet, in contrast, they will spend days and weeks on a Republican story that really deserved their William Jefferson treatment. <br><br>Another example is Hillary Clinton's connection to Norman Hsu. Once he was found out, and Clinton returned her nearly $1,000,000 campaign contribution from Hsu, the liberal media said "good enough!" No media frenzy. <br><br>Now, if Hsu had given $850,000 to McCain or Romney, can you imagine how the media would've kept that story floating for weeks and months .. constantly connecting the candidates name with Hsu? As it was, at least on the network news broadcasts, they gave plenty of space between Hillary Clinton and Norman Hsu. <br><br>***********************<br>

sex is more sensational than storing cash in a freezer. the media is looking for sensational!!!11!!!!!<br><br>Bill Clinton's Lewinski stuff was HUGE headlines. Hillary and Norman Hsu . . . did they do it? no. oh then meh, boring. story would have died just as quickly with any politician running. this was a story more about Hsu than the candidate and that's another reason it faltered to generate interest. Hsu will get justice so that's that. <br><br>

Yes, you have a point. At the same time, I, and maybe the media, doesn't feel like cutting Republicans any slack for a while. The things that went on under their watch are..unforgivable.<br><br>We are what we repeatedly do. -Aristotle

I don't know what you mean by that, but at least there's good news out this afternoon from the Secret Service who stated that Obama's security was never compromised. Are these holdover Clintonista's aware of the deadly power of Pretzel Jokes?<br><br><br><br>
